the soda blast experiment



kailea couldn't wait till after swim class to tell me what they did in mr. a's class that morning. soda blast experiment. she told me they wanted to find out who will shoot up the most when you drop mentos in. they have 5 bottles of soda, coca cola, orange soda, root beer, strawberry soda and sport. 'sprite', i corrected her. so, who won? 'coca cola, tied with root beer won' she said her money was on the strawberry soda, but it didn't win. why strawberry? because pink is her favorite color, silly.

the explanation as to why it shoots up might not be what they would remember of the experiment- she skipped telling me the conclusion but it is a sure way to get the kids excited and interested. for the more mature audience who are curious, check out myth busters - they too, had a lot of fun with this one!

she was trying to get us to go to the beach to make a volcano with lava coming out of it.
